Trial for father of accused Apalachee High School shooter begins

Jury selection is underway for the trial of Colin Gray, the father of the teenager accused of the deadly 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School. Gray faces 29 charges, including second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, for allegedly providing his son with the firearm used in the attack. The trial, held in Barrow County with a jury pulled from Hall County, is a rare case of a parent being held criminally responsible for a school shooting. Prosecutors argue Gray was aware of his son’s mental health struggles and violent obsessions before the tragedy.
